Marketing Vs Owning Relationships
The reason most companies and people have a challenge with their marketing efforts is that they’re trying to market and not own a relationship.
I found myself wandering through Boston’s Faneuil Hall the other day and happened upon the band, the Ballroom Thieves playing for a crowd. Show More Summary
Ownership Starts From Within
I wanted to share a thought with you about ownership.
Ownership starts from within. You start by realizing one day that you can own your choices. It grows. You accept that you can choose your goals. Then, you realize you can create a kingdom or a world or whatever you want to call it (your domain). Show More Summary
Shift Your Social Media Usage to Fabric Mode
When social media came out and for the next many years, people have treated it like a main course. Ultimately, it’s more like a condiment, or a texture. It’s time to move it to the “fabric” mindset.
I was talking with Jacq about our upcoming talk at State of Now about how one starts a health reboot. Show More Summary
Sponsored Post – Two Weeks of Office365 and Windows
I decided to challenge myself and really put Office365 to the test.
The following is sponsored by Cloud Powered Work, which is a project with IDG, LinkedIn, and Microsoft’s Office365. Everything in this post is mine, and my opinionsShow More Summary
A Thousand Before and After Pictures
That picture to the right is one of my “before” pictures.
I took it about a year ago last March, and when I looked at it shortly after I snapped it, I thought, “Huh. That’s weird. I’m a lot fatter than I think I am.”
Like all “before”...Show More Summary
Be Open to Inspiration
I’ve been in a bit of a fog the last week or so. Nothing worth talking about, really. Depression stuff. But then it lifted.
What’s interesting to me is how I found my footing and how I got back on track, and so there are two items IShow More Summary
Do Local Businesses Deserve Your Money?
I sat at the counter at my local restaurant the other day and waited for over 7 minutes without anyone bothering to acknowledge that I was there.
And then I walked out. And so did my money. For good. In fact, I drove to McDonalds, got some scrambled eggs and an iced coffee, and was in and out of the system within the same 7 minutes. Show More Summary
Why Use These Outlier Social Media Tools?
Why should you bother using tools like Vine and Instagram, and the like? That question was asked to me by Pam Vitaz, and she asked it somewhat in this context (my words not hers): Vine’s interesting, but you basically just shot a funny video. Show More Summary
Can You Work at Being Fearless?
Fear is at the heart of most of our worst choices.
I read this facebook post by James Altucher and it really punched me in the stomach. But that’s just one punch in a series, because every time I question how I ended up somewhere, the real answer (underneath all the bull answers) is fear. Show More Summary
Sponsored Post – Mobile Productivity and the Future
Can you be productive while on the road? I say yes. In fact, I’m writing this from a hotel room before heading off to a meeting with a client.

How Do You Keep People Engaged?
I’ve just come to discover something and wanted to share it. My son, Harold, has never cared about a toy in his life. For maybe the first few minutes, it’s interesting, and then, it floats away to the discard pile. The same is true of most of the video games he plays. Show More Summary
Do You Invest in Yourself?
It took a long time to realize that I should invest in myself, that I should put my own mask on first, etc. Too long. To that end, I wanted to share some thoughts with you.
When I was in my 20s, I flirted with college over and over again. Show More Summary
Free Live Event for Real Estate Professionals
You’ve heard that using social networks like Twitter and Facebook will improve your sales, but that’s not working quite the way you expected. Someone else told you to blog. Another mentioned YouTube. And what about good old fashioned...Show More Summary
Get Started With Google+
You’ve been putting off actually doing much with Google+. Maybe it’s because you’re already feeling behind in keeping up with all the other social networks. Maybe you think there’s no one there ( 500 million users). Maybe you just don’t...Show More Summary
Sponsor Thanks – GoToMeeting
At our New York ImpactNEXT event, we were lucky enough to have our friends at GoToMeeting sponsor “GoToLUNCH!” I’ve worked with Citrix Online (now, I guess, just Citrix) for a really long time, now. Why? Because:
1.) I like what they...Show More Summary

On the Occasion of My 43rd Birthday
I have been fortunate enough to live on this planet and learn every day for 43 years. I do feel old. My body is stiff and sore. My eyes get tired fast. My hairline is slowly receding back. There is more white in my beard than any other color. Show More Summary
How Do I Grow My Business
Last night, I played bass in Girish‘s band, the band my girlfriend, Jacqueline plays in quite often as a singer. There were really two tricky parts of doing this, though.
1) I don’t play bass.
2) I’m not a great musician.
I played passably well most of the event. Show More Summary
